Chamber Ambassadors 2020-21

The Ambassadors are a group of local, experienced professionals who have a great deal of expertise between them. Their objective is to support the Chamber. Their primary focus is to be of assistance to Chamber members, whether new, longer term or thinking of joining.

My clients range from large companies to sole traders who appreciate my knowledge and the assurance of being in the hands of a qualified accountant.

The chamber has helped me to promote my company and so becoming an ambassador was a no brainer.

I am proud to be an ambassador of Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce. 

Why? Because I became an accountant to help businesses and individuals to grow and develop, so my role as ambassador allows me give to support and encourage members new and old.

Having been an accountant for over twenty-five years in practice, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly, so always happy to have a chat often with a smile.
